WASHINGTON — Following one of his worst offensive games this season, Stephen Curry stopped thinking about basketball and recalibrated his mind. It worked out just fine.

Curry was all systems go Wednesday night as he made 11 3-pointers and scored 51 points to lead the Warriors past the Wizards 134-121 for their eighth straight victory, which came in spite of a monster performance from John Wall, who scored a season-best 41 points.

“The shots that you know feel good go in, and some of the shots that you’re like, ‘Oh that’s off,’ they end up going in,” Curry said. “It’s a fun feeling, and you want to ride that until you can’t anymore.”

Curry missed seven of 10 shots during the third quarter, but was dominant most of the night as the Warriors (45-4) matched the 1966-67 76ers for the best 49-game start in NBA history.

“I didn’t know Steph was in a slump,” coach Steve Kerr said. “Steph’s never in a slump.”
